Sonnet 5.5 is worth a try

Key points

• I also have my Stanford talk later today, and I’ve been up since 2am 😩, I don’t usually suffer with jet-lag so what a great day for it 🙃.1
• Google Cloud starts Season 3 of Advent of Agents this Thursday, Oct 1: one question a day about running agents securely in production, from agent identity to kill switches, with a short video and code you can build with your coding agent.1
• Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 - Sonnet 5.5 looks like a capable model based on benchmarks - close to Opus 5.5 in coding and a big jump in understanding images/charts etc. If you’re on the $20 plan, try replacing some of your usual asks from Opus to Sonnet 5.5 at high thinking.1
• ps: Anthropic has a track record of making the .5 version of Sonnet models really good.1
